Lena is a troubled young girl; picking pockets and stealing
cars to get by. After a close call with the cops, she finds herself in an
underground club where she catches the eye of an older woman. Soon enough, she
learns that her admirer is not human and is very interested in stripping her of
her humanity.

I’ve seen a lot of B vampire movies and the majority of them
are unimpressive; mostly vehicles used to get the actresses to show their
boobs. “We Are the Night” was nothing like that. The movie was actually
incredibly interesting and there was no full on female nudity at all. The fact
that the director let the story speak for itself instead of falling to topless
girls for holding interest was something that really caught me. I’m also not
sure if I can consider this a B-movie. Although it might fit the requirements
for that label in America, it wasn’t made here. It’s a German movie by what
seems like a well known German director.

Despite how much I enjoyed the movie; there were some large
gaping plot holes that I’m having trouble wrapping my head around. I’m not
talking about simple continuity errors, either. There were simply some scenes
that seemed to break the rules of the universe laid out by the writers and
other scenes that brought up questions that had no logical answers. There weren’t
many of them, but the ones that were there were difficult to forgive.

I did enjoy the take on vampires. Almost every movie or book
that deals in supernatural creatures has its own set of rules for them. Right
now, I’m happy with most vampire media that doesn’t have them sparkling in the
daylight as if they were some mystical stripper race that would be better at
throwing glitter-fits than drinking blood. However, this movie also had some
interesting takes on the natural powers that many vampire literature and movies
claim the race has – which made it stand out.

I would definitely suggest this movie to anyone who’s a fan
of “True Blood” or “The Hunger.”

A group of nerdy friends constantly get the short end of the
stick at school, at work and at home. When the opportunity comes up to sign up
for a Lord of the Rings Online competition, they decided to go for it; no
matter who tries to get in their way.

I had high hopes for this movie because of the nature of its
plot. This past Friday, I watched “Unicorn City” and it was one of those
geek-hearted movies that blew me away. It was fun and smart and the actors
really understood their characters. “Rise of the Fellowship” is the very
opposite of what “Unicorn City” was. It wasn’t geek-hearted; it was closer to
geek-sploitation.

The characters were completely depth-less and stereotypical.
It’s like the script was written by people who’ve only ever been exposed to the
gamer scene from the outside. I still might have been able to get into it, but
the actors either weren’t interested in their characters or they were just bad
in general.

It felt like this movie was trying to be like “Video Game
High School” while paying homage to “Lord of the Rings.” I wish I could say it
had been successful.
